To improve the UI and UX of online meeting applications, the existing design methods are implemented. The used methods are Golden Ratio and Silver Ratio. Those methods were tested empirically related to the effect of design methods on online meeting applications. The testing was done by collecting data in the field using User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ). The testing results of the UEQ showed that the attractiveness, perspicuity, efficiency, dependability, stimulation, and novelty of the Golden Ratio Method appear to be better than the Silver Ratio Method. To ensure the correctness, the test was contin- ued with testing the significance of UEQ data by using T-Test.

By paying attention to UI and UX, user interest in online meeting application will increase. User interest can be seen from various sides, such as easy to use and convenient to operate. This will improve service and competitiveness in the market, which in the end will add sales value of the application [4]. Design methods are often found in structure modeling, one of which is the Golden Ratio method (which is used to build the Eif- fel tower in Paris) and the Silver Ratio method (which is used to build Pagoda in Japan).

    GOLDEN AND SILVER RATIOS IN BARGAINING KIMMO BERG, JANOS´ FLESCH, AND FRANK THUIJSMAN Abstract. We examine a specific class of bargaining problems where the golden and silver ratios appear in a natural way. 1. Introduction There are five coins on a table to be divided among players 1 to 4. The players act in turns cyclically starting from player 1. When it is a player's turn, he has two options: to quit or to pass. If he quits he earns a coin, the next two players get two coins each and the remaining player gets nothing. For example, if player 3 quits then he gets one coin, players 4 and 1 get two coins each and player 2 gets no coins. This way the game is repeated until someone quits. If nobody ever quits then they all get nothing. Each player can randomize between the two alternatives and maximizes his expected payoff. The game is presented in the figure below, where the players' payoffs are shown as the components of the vectors. pass pass pass pass player 1 player 2 player 3 player 4 quit quit quit quit (1; 2; 2; 0) (0; 1; 2; 2) (2; 0; 1; 2) (2; 2; 0; 1) Bargaining problems have been studied extensively in game theory literature [4, 6, 7]. Our game can be seen as a barganing problem where the players cannot make their own offers but can only accept or decline the given division. Furthermore, the game is a special case of a so-called sequential quitting game which have been studied, for example, in [5, 9].

Each Metallic Mean is epitomized by one particular Pythagorean Triangle. Also, the Right Angled Triangles are found to be more “Metallic” than the Pentagons, Octagons or any other (n2+4)gons.

Certain distinctive mathematical correlations are found to exist between various Metallic Means. This work presents the explicit formulae those provide the exact mathematical relationships between different Metallic Ratios.

Each Metallic Mean 훅n is the root of the simple Quadratic Equation X2 - nX - 1 = 0, where n is any positive √ th 퐧 + 퐧²+ퟒ natural number. Thus, the fractional expression of the n Metallic Ratio is 훅n = ퟐ Moreover, each Metallic Ratio can be expressed as the continued fraction: ퟏ ퟏ 훅n = n + ; And hence, 훅n = n + ퟏ 훅퐧 퐧 + ퟏ 퐧 + 퐧 + … More importantly, each Metallic Ratio can be expressed with a special Right Angled Triangle. Any nth Metallic ퟐ Mean can be accurately represented by the Right Triangle having its catheti 1 and .

  • The Power of Copper-Gold: a Leading Indicator for the 10-Year Treasury Yield
    The Power of Copper-Gold: A Leading Indicator for the 10-Year Treasury Yield Jeffrey M. Mayberry Co-Portfolio Manager, DoubleLine Strategic Commodity Fund The Power of Copper-Gold: A Leading Indicator for the 10-Year Treasury Yield Introduction The distinct roles of copper versus gold – the red metal’s industrial necessity, the popular perception of the yellow metal as a safe haven – can embed useful information in their market prices, particularly in relationship to each other. Broadly speaking, the ratio of copper to gold can serve as an indicator of the market’s appetite for risk assets versus the perceived safety of Treasuries. More specifically, the ratio of copper to gold can serve as a leading indicator of the direction of the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note. Smelted from mineral ore for over 10,000 years, copper became the first metal worked by humans. Around 6,500 years ago, someone mixed a secondary metal with copper to invent bronze. An alloy with such useful properties as hardness, ductility and corrosion-resistance, bronze ended the Stone Age, giving its name to the next great technological era of civilization.1 Its ancient pedigree notwithstanding, copper is indispensable to our modern economy. On a mass scale, generation and transmission of electricity, electrical devices and electronics would be impossible without the red metal. From the Bronze Age into our own Information Age, copper and its alloys have ranked among the foremost commodity inputs to industrial activity. Gold’s credentials are not industrial but financial. Five thousand years ago, the ancient Egyptians organized the first large- scale gold mines.

  • Silver Ratio and Pell Numbers
    JASC: Journal of Applied Science and Computations ISSN NO: 0076-5131 Silver Ratio and Pell Numbers Dr. Vandana N. Purav P.D. Karkhanis College of Arts and Commerce, Ambarnath Email : [email protected] Abstract Like Fibonacci and Lucas Numbers, Pell and Pell-Lucas numbers are mathematical twins. From the Family of Fibonacci Numbers, Lucas Numbers were invented. This family give rise to Pell and Pell- Lucas Number. Pell and Pell-Lucas numbers have properties similar to Fibonacci and Lucas Numbers. In this note we try to focus on some of these properties of Pell Numbers related with Silver Ratio Key words : Silver Ratio , Pell Numbers, Pell-Lucas Numbers Introduction Pell numbers arise historically and most notably in the rational approximation of √2 . A sequence of Pell numbers starts with 0 and 1 and then each Pell number is the sum of twice the previous number and the Pell number before . We denote this Pell Numbers by Pn , recursively it can be written as, Pn = 2Pn-1 + Pn- 2 , n≥ 3 and P1 = 1 and P2 = 2 are the initial conditions. The Pell sequence is 1, 2, 5, 12, 29, 70, 169,….. If we change the initial conditions as P1 = 1 and P2 = 3 we get Pell-Lucas sequence, we denote it by Qn and defined recursively as Qn = 2Qn-1 + Qn-2 , n≥ 3 and Q1 = 1 and Q2 = 3, The Pell-Lucas sequence is 1, 3, 7, 17, 41, 99,…… Thus like Fibonacci and Lucas Numbers, Pell and Pell-Lucas Numbers are mathematical twins. We characterize some of the properties.

Like the last, I want to keep it as open-ended as possible. I'm going to throw a bunch of math at you, sprinkled with ideas of stuff you can implement, you don't have to do all of it, just make something cool that teaches you something! Also: Week 6 when we learn how to use Graphics we're going to revisit Fibonacci and make some pictures, it's going to be a lot of fun, and paying attention to this project will get you excited for that one :D You've probably heard of the Fibonacci Sequence. It's a recursive sequence that starts with two ​ ​ 1's, and then each successive term is the sum of the last two: The Fibonacci Sequence is awesome! It has so many cool properties. It's also fun to write the code for it as a simple recursive function – yes, Mathematica already has a function called Fibonacci, but it's still fun to make your own. One is that the ratio of the terms converges to a certain number called The Golden Ratio, denoted with the Greek letter φ . The Golden Ratio is ​ ​ equal to ( √5 + 1)/2 = 1.6180… . This would be cool to see, maybe also a visualization of how fast it approaches that ratio. This ratio is the most aesthetic ratio for the side lengths of a rectangle to our eyes, you can test for yourself: a MacBook Pro's screen dimensions are 2560 x 1600 = 1.6.
